Greenfield Eviction Risk: Elevated

1 census tracts · pop 4,919 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 6.2/10 · range 6.2–6.2

Greenfield maps to a single census tract in Pittsburgh, PA, population 4,919. It carries an Eviction Risk Score of 6.2/10, in the Elevated tier. The severe-burden share is 19%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

Pulling the other way is economic stress, at 2.8/10. The filing record is not thin: 170 evictions logged in this tract.

The worst year on record was 2000, when filings touched 3.0% of renter households. Cost burden runs roughly one in four against 29.3% citywide, putting Greenfield 3.0% under its own city.

Recent filings have not receded much: 2.7% in 2006 against a 3.0% peak. Among the 78 mapped neighborhoods of Pittsburgh, it ranks #51 by risk, the middle third.

For a like-for-like read, Lawrenceville and Brighton Heights score within a fraction of it. Average gross rent runs $1,249, close to the Pittsburgh average.

Annual rent works out to 21% of average household income of $71,012. 43% of occupied units are renter-occupied.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 6.2/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
